About This Book
A farmer's peaceful trip to the country fair turns lively as animals hop into his truck one by one, making the ride more and more crowded. When the truck gets stuck on a hill, all the animals work together to push it free, leading to a funny ending at the pie contest. Playful rhymes and silly pictures make this story a fun read about sharing and teamwork.
